The Challenge: Finding Fans Across Location, Weather, and Sports

MEC UK was looking for a solution for its client, Danone Actimel, that could target consumers by geolocation, leverage weather signals and football scores, and reach people according to shifts in both. Also, MEC wanted to achieve a Cost Per View of £0.03 for three seconds of video.

The Solution: Trigger Based Video Remarketing For Full-Funnel Engagement

MEC used Marin and its status as a Facebook Marketing Partner to retarget the people who were exposed to Danone Actimel videos for three seconds or 95%. Using trigger-based ads, MEC targeted a large audience to ensure Actimel’s brand got maximum and precise exposure.

Since Marin has a partnership with TVTY that allows customers to leverage specific triggers—including, for this project, weather patterns, pollen alerts, travel conditions, and more—MEC UK found the platform uniquely fitting. After the triggers were created and linked to campaigns, the campaigns were activated or paused based on the triggers to ensure messages were shown at appropriate times.

Danone Actimel provided its creative assets to MEC UK. These assets were all designed to deliver messages encouraging consumers to stay strong in everyday situations. These assets were all designed with the specific themes of happiness and bad days, one for each day of the week. The campaigns were then planned and set up according to the associated trigger and creative asset.

The overall strategy included a media plan based on precise and methodical campaigns for reach and frequency, engagement, and video views. Naming conventions made it easier to report on campaign performance, and mass duplication allowed the team to update the campaign in bulk—including duplication of the start, end date, budget, and bidding at the campaign/ad set and ads level.
